Aaaahhh!!! I LOVE bag # 17,000!!! That turned out sooooo cute!!!! :) Congrats on such an accomplishment and making such a HUGE impact!!! Good stuff! And Harmony's fabric was perfect for that! I have some of that print too....now I'm feeling all inspired! ;)

As for Sew Mama Sew, love all the tutes there! They just shared one about a mini/kid-sized messenger bag I'd love to try for my kiddos! Thanks for the chance to win!

I can never choose just one! The hand band is so cute, I've always wanted to do the fabric wall art and the happy hostesss gift box is so cute, too!Love bag 17,000 (keeping my fingers crossed)!!!!

I am finishing up about 15 bags to give out at my local grocery store. I was inspired when I saw the amount of plastic still walking out of that store, so disappointing! Gathering fabric to make more, too.Thanks for a wonderful freebie, as always!

what a wonderful project. I love reusable bags and probably have a few too many, but if I win one of yours, I may have to share. (Or maybe I can give away one of my other cute bags and keep yours! shhh, don't tell!)

I don't know if I could pick just one tutorial that is my favorite, but my most recent completed project was some napkins that I spied on Sew, Mama, Sew. Plus all the quilting and handbags are great too!

Wow, what a generous giveaway and congrats on your milestone of 17,000 bags! (And I thought I had a lot of tote bags...) I love SMS and am planning to use the sushi roll changing pad tute to prepare for my next babe. Thanks for the chance!

Love them! I've been knitting my own reusable bags for years - these would be such a neat change for me. It's a bear carrying 15 books to the library in a knit bag, let me tell you. I've had "make a fabric shopping bag" on my mental to-craft list for a while now.

I LOVE the tuts on SMS!! I think I'm going to try the Let's Go Backpack, the Simple Ponytail Scarf, and the Child's Teepee-Style Tent. My girls would LOVE those.. I've tried lots of their tuts but haven't tried those yet.. :)

You are a generous lady. I hope all your generosity comes back to you. I'll be checking out the batting guide on SMS first, but now that I know about the list, I'm sure I'll be checking out more tutorials!

Thank you for this giveaway...and congratulations on 17,000 -- amazing! I definitely need to make some boot cuffs for my rain boots. And I have a newborn -- if I get brave enough, I will try the diaper tutorial!! Thanks again!

17,000 bags? That is awesome. The sea tutles probably thank you as that means less plastic bags (that look like edible jelly fish) in the oceans :-) I'd like to try the diaper tutorial from Sew Mama Sew as I am expecting a baby girl soon. Keep up the great work!!! What an inspiration. carolyn_dv(at)yahoo(dot)come

Woof! Woof! Saw your giveaway at Sew Mama's site. I would like to enter my mom who recently found joy in sewing. LOVE the bags n the organic fabrics. my mom is a beginner in quilting n she thinks doing Sew Mama's Quilted Patchwork HotPads will be a great first project. it's my 10th barkday today ... Yo can reach us at sugar(at)goldenwoofs(dot)com. Lots of Golden Thanks n Woofs, Sugar

Oooh - love that 17,000 bag!!!As for SMS tutorials, I really want to start on the starch method of applique. I've got my materials but I have not started it yet - I need to wait until the kids go to sleep (there are 3 little ones I don't want to get into the iron/starch). Thanks for the fantastic giveaway!cadamsworship(at)yahoo(dot)com

I love sew mama sew! I have learned so much from them. I visit them on a daily basis for inspiration and to get my day going. I would love to make the "Not Your Traditional Log Cabin Pillow"Your project is amazing and very selfless. This will make a change!Thank you for the "green" and wonerful giveawaynaslyyadid(at)gmail(dot)com

I love the fact these bags are organic! Most of the bags sold in the stores are made in China and have been proven to leach chemicals into our food, so I've been sticking with the old fashioned paper. I'd rather have cloth!

Wowza! 17,000 bags. Think of all the plastic bags you have kept from ending up in landfills! I would love to try the Undaunted Top from the SewMamaSew tutorials. I think I can do it... maybe in Julia Rothman Miscellany (one of many gorgeous organic cotton fabric collections out right now, yay!).

I loved the the tutorial about embellishing knits. The stitching around the edge is adorable and I have some shirts now that I really want to try. Their site led me to yours and now I'm excited to come back and see what else you have (besides the adorable bags in this contest). Thank you for hosting such an eco-friendly giveaway! -krista

What a great give away! Your bags are spool much nicer than the freebies the stores try to get you to buy (made in china with some horrendous process I'm sure!). anyway...I've been meaning to do the pretty summer blouse from SMS. Thanks for the giveaway!

I've been browsing your website and I must say I LOVE it! It has so many useful tips, I do not know where to start! I just downloaded your pattern, I would like to try to make my own GREEN BAGS!! WOOHOO!! Thank you Sew Mama Sew for the referral!

I've been following Sew Mama Sew for about a month now (I'm a newbie to the blog world and sewing). I have found many of the tutorials extremely useful especially the ones that show HOW TO insert grommets, how to hand sew, which needles to use for which fabric, and all of the quilting basics.

The one tutorial that I would love to try (goodness too many to choose) is the pretty blouse (http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/2011/06/summer-sewing-the-pretty-blouse/).

Thank you very much for the fabulous giveaway! The bags are all "sew" beautiful. #17,000 is absolutely awesome! They are my daughter's favorite colors this would be nice to win for her since she's leaving for college next Thursday!

I've been following Sew Mama Sew for awhile now and it's how I found your wonderful site! Right now I'd probably want to follow the Yoga Skirt tutorial since I'm pregnant and my clothes are starting to feel a bit tight! I think it would be the perfect thing to make. =)

I would love to try the reverse applique and the yoga skirt tutes. I have used a few others and they have all turned out great! I love all the bags, such a great passion to share...mom2zt (at) gmail (dot) com

Oh, what a find! I have to say thanks to the Sew, Mama, Sew! blog for linking to you. As for which tutorial I would like to try, I'm thinking that super easy nighty looks like something I should give a whirl.

thebarefootseamstress(at)gmail(dot)comYou are making a huge difference in this world, thank you kindly, my daughter and her future daughters and their future daughters thank you too :)I am seriously thinking about the laptop bag for my little lady's back to school bag, big step for me, but looks doable. wow there are so many great ones though, how to choose!? Thanks! Happy Sewing

I have a ton of sew mama sew tutorials I've saved to try. Most recently though is that awesome back to school laptop bag. That won't be for back to school though that will be for moi! Thanks for a shot at winning.robynsnest at bellsouth dot net

Wow, there are so many great tutorials, it's hard to choice just one! (and all of those bags are just adorable too!)I think though I would have to go with Diapering Sewing 101 as this is something I've been trying to learn for awhile now. I have two little ones in diapers so it would be very helpful.....I've been wanting to start cloth diapering for some time! My e-mail address is: chrislaurie@gmail.com

Absolutely adorable bags! I would love to win one of these! As far as on sew mama sew any of the tutorials to do with quilting. I'm in the midst of the beginnings of a quilt for my man. Looking at the tutorials I'm sure one or more will be a great help!! Thank you for this wonderful giveaway!!!

Those bags are fabulous! Especially the one you highlighted.SMS tutorials are all so handy for a beginning sewer like me. But as I love bags(I have a family of all boys, but there are 5 or 6 different handbags in the hall...), I'd love to make this one: http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/2010/09/free-amy-butler-pattern-blossom-handbagshoulder-bag/

I love Sew Mama Sew! I would really like to try the laptop bag (talk about cute fabric!) and would definitely like to learn how to applique. The spring ruffle top is super cute too (I've had my eye on that since last year). So many to choose from!

I seriously love your bags! So much more fun and stylish than the ones grocery stores try to sell you. As far as tutorials, I'm going to have to visit the binding tutorial to finish a quilting project soon. I also enjoy the Elizabeth Hartmann tutorials sew mama sew posts.

I am new to Green Bag Lady and I ♥ everything about it! Sew Mama Sew is a fav of mine so it was hard to pick a tute...since I have never done any machine applique I'm going to go with the two step tute on this!leanne_denison(at)hotmail(dot)com

I'm beginning my adventure with sewing machine so tutorials here are my everyday lecture. I'm hoping to try "How to Machine Applique" on my new pillows, and after that i will definitely "Add a Zipper to a Pillow". Right now I'm struggling with a lack of time for shopping new materials but I think a new Green Bag would be a GREAT help and motivation.

I've tried many of the sew mama sew tutes including a heart pillow, the cutest scottie dog ever by Denise Schmidt and a number of bags and pillows. Still on my list are the doodle pillow, and insulated picnic tote, a wallet to tote, the spring chicken and prudent baby's sleep shorts as well as a dorm laundry bag. They're a great source of inspiration.sharretts2000(at)yahoo(dot)com

Wonderful website! So glad this giveaway allowed me to discover you--a prize in itself. I am going to be brave a try making clothes this year so I'll be checking out the tunic tips/tutorial. Thanks! stellabellaquilts(at)gmail(dot)com

Well, I have a whole bunch of tutorials from SMS saved in my "to do" files, so how would I pick one? There was a cool laptop bag featured today, and there was a neat beach bag featured earlier in the summer. Those come to mind. And, Green Bag Lady, you are amazing! Thanks for your continued generosity. I have 2 of your bags already that I use regularly.

I have lots of SMS tutorials in my bookmarks. I want to try making a pillow with a hidden zipper. That is on my to do list. I am currently doing the BOM with SMS. I can't wait for the Aug. block to come out!

The undaunted summer top has been on my summer sewing list all summer...and it still is! I made a few of your bags at Xmas with vintage sheets- super fun. Let's hope I can win a 'professional' one for myself!

I need the grommet tutorial for a beach bag I should have made 2 months ago! Naughty!! But hey, bag #17,000 would make an awesome stand-in so thanks for the chance to bring her home!bacontheneggs(at)gmail(dot)com

Dedication

This project is dedicated to the memory of my mother, Margaret A. VanHatten. I think of her often while I sit at the sewing machine. She taught me to sew as a young girl and enjoyed making practical items. I miss her every day. I believe she would love this project. In fact, I think she would be helping me sew!
